This interdisciplinary collection of essays brings together scholars in the fields of art history, theatre, visual culture, and literature to explore intersections between the European avant-garde (c. 1880-1945) and themes of health and hygiene, such as illness, contagion, cleanliness, and contamination.



This interdisciplinary collection of essays brings together scholars in the fields of art history, theatre, visual culture, and literature to explore intersections between the European avant-garde (c. 1880–1945) and themes of health and hygiene, such as illness, contagion, cleanliness, and contamination.

Examining the artistic oeuvres of some of the canonical names of modern art – including Edgar Degas, Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, George Orwell, Marcel Duchamp, and Antonin Artaud – this book investigates instances where the heightened political, social, and cultural currencies embedded within issues of hygiene and contagion have been mobilised, and subversively exploited, to fuel the critical strategy at play. This edited volume promotes an interdisciplinary and socio-historically contextualised understanding of the criticality of the avant-garde gesture and cultivates scholarship that moves beyond the limits of traditional academic subjects to produce innovative and thought-provoking connections and interrelations across various fields.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, literature, theatre, cultural studies, modern history, medical humanities, and visual culture.

Recenzijos

"A sparkling collection of essays which adds reflections on the motifs and rhetorics of contagion to the concept and history of the European artistic avant-gardes. As such its a valuable contribution to the deepening of our understanding of these formations."

David Cottington, Kingston University, London

"This is a welcome and all too timely volume, taking up the significance of the avant-gardes rhetorics of contagion, the idea of art-as-infection, and relays between visuality and virality in the long histories of hygienic discourses and practices."

Allison Morehead, Queens University, Canada
